Pounding head, queasy stomach, dry mouth -- welcome to your
hangover. While mankind is united in this particular form of post-bender
misery, variations abound when it comes to taming the beast. Here are a few hangover remedy traditions from drinking cultures around the world.

Namibia

The
morning after an epic boozefest, Namibians sip a concoction called
Buffalo Milk, which is surprisingly devoid of actual buffalo milk.
Rather, enjoy a brew of clotted cream, dark rum, spiced rum, cream
liqueur, and whole cream, according to Gizmodo.

Germany

Hungover
Germans saddle up to katerfrühstück, or 'hangover breakfast,' which
comprises a raw, pickled herring wrapped around pieces of gherkin and
onion.

Poland

Poles
are famed for outdrinking just about anyone, but they are not immune to
hangover hell. Their morning brew: a tasty swig of pickle juice, writes
Lonely Planet.

Italy

While
Italians chase their hangovers with a fine cup of espresso, Sicilians
are famous for their cure of eating a dried bull's penis. According to
The Guardian in the UK, ancient Romans also snacked on deep-fried
canaries after a rave.

Japan

After
a heavy night of sake drinking, Japanese are known to eat pickled,
dried ume, which is similar to a plum or apricot. Steep it in green tea
to neutralize, sort of, the intensely sour taste, writes Gizmodo.

UK

When
it comes to binge drinking, the Brits are notorious - and their
day-after remedy of choice, tucking into a fry up, a heaving platter of
bacon, eggs, sausages, and side dishes such as beans and tomatoes.
Another favorite: hair of the dog, or drinking more alcohol the morning
after to ease (er, delay) the symptoms.

Philippines

Filipino partiers calm a queasy stomach with a delicacy known as balut, a poached duck embryo, beak often included.

India

The
morning after, Indian revelers reach for refreshing, electrolyte-rich
coconut water - the clear liquid from young green coconuts.

• Consuming
fruits rich in Vitamin A is effective in sinusitis. One of the richest
sources of the vitamin is mango. So, patients suffering from sinus
should have lots of mangoes. Other food products rich in Vitamin A
include pumpkin, leafy vegetables, egg yolk, tomatoes, papaya, carrots,
curd and whole milk. • Roast
100 grams of cumin seeds and mix them with 200 grams of pure ghee.
Consume daily. It is one of the most effective ways to cure sinusitis.

• Take a tsp of black cumin seeds and tie them in a thin cloth.
Inhaling from the cloth would be effective in reducing sinusitis.

• Boil a tsp of fenugreek seeds in half a glass of water, until the
decoction reduces to half. Consuming 3 to 4 cups of this tea would help
in expelling all the toxins, increasing the perspiration rate and
thereby reducing fever, along with sinusitis.

• Pungent
smelling vegetables, like onion hr and garlic, are helpful in curing
sinusitis. Inhaling their smell would also prove to be beneficial.

• Steam is effective in curing sinusitis. It opens the nasal passage by draining the sinuses and making mucous flow easy.
